 Today marked the inaugural Carbon and Emery County Business Expo and we hope it's one of many to come! The event was held at the Business Technical Assistance Center, a coworking space located inside the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Government building. First off, the space itself brings together so many vital resources for small business owners in the area like business advising, a commissary kitchen, podcasting room, 3D printer, meeting space, and coworking desks. BTAC really embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship and working together as a community so it was the perfect place to hold the 1st annual business expo. The expo was a volunteer effort organized by representatives from both chambers of commerce, the city of Helper, USU, the BATC, the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, the SBDC, (and more!) and was definitely a labor of love to bring it to life. People in the area should consider themselves so lucky to have such amazing individuals on their entrepreneurial "team" because it definitely takes a village to start and grow your own business! I chatted with so many people the evening flew by like the Helper train! Chatting with budding new entrepreneurs and strategizing with existing business owners looking to grow made for great conversation. Us resource partners heard a lot of amazing ideas and it was fun connecting every business owner with the right resource for them. Participating vendors included:
